Given that so many of us are now hosting on AWS, I'd like to ask the question - who has been hit with a DDOS attack / extortion letter while is hosting on AWS? It would seem that there's many old-tech companies hosting in data centers that would seem to be far more vulnerable to non-TCP attack vectors than AWS-hosted systems. Is that who is generally targeted here? Are there any stories, anecdotal or otherwise, about people getting hit with DDOS attacks while using AWS. Here's a talk by AWS on their measures against attacks - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys0gG1koqJA. The only thing short of Silverline etc defense that they seem to be lacking is the reporting dashboard indicating when they've defended against DDOS attacks. So has anyone received a letter from DD4BC and other miscreants whilst hosting their domains on AWS?
